This was a TV series from 1973 to 1976. David Janson (The Fugitive) is Harry Orwell , a world-weary private investigator who was forced to leave the San Diego Police Department after a bullet became lodged near his spine. Jester plays an old man in this one episode, whose son has put him in an old-folks home that is abusing (and killing) its patients. When Jester's character threaten to file a lawsuit, he is killed. (Third time I know of where he plays a character that gets killed, The Alamo, Thriller (TV Series) and this one. By this time in his career, his roles are more distinquished and far less demeaning. This was from season 2 episode 8 "Tender Killing Care"
